next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have set vfs.usermount=1, and now I can create a local directory
(call it "xxx") in my home dir and use it successfully to do
mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 xxx
or
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 xxx
However, if I attempt to use the "standard" mount points, /cdrom or
/floppy, to do the same thing, like
mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /cdrom
I get the message: cd9660: /dev/cd0: Operation not permitted.
I have set the permissions on /cdrom to 555 and the file is owned by
root:operators, and my non-root user-id is a member of operators. Is
there something special I have to do to /cdrom to make it usable to
non-root users? What ever it is, it must be the same problem I am
having with /floppy and my sound system, so solving this will solve a
lot of related problems.
Thanks for any and all assistance.
